“THE WOOD L.OOKED SO PRETTY IT 
SEEMED LIKE A SIN TO COVER 
IT WITH PAINT” 


Alabama. 


I’m delighted with our Aladdin 

home, the “Hudson.” 

The material is the prettiest I ever 

saw, so white and smooth that it 

looked like a sin to cover the wood 

work with paint. 

I’m sure we saved both in material 

and time. Everything fit perfectly 

and if I were to build again you can 

be sure it will be an Aladdin house. 
Very truly, 

Mrs. J. T. Nelson. 


“A PLEASURE TO SPEAK A WORD 
OF PRAISE” 


Alabama. 

It gives me pleasure to speak a 
word of. praise for the Aladdin readi- 
cut houses. We find our Shadow 
Lawn everything you claimed it to 
be. 
The material is exceptionally good, 
much better than we could possibly 
buy at any price down here. I want 
to mention the doors especially, they 
are beautiful, also the siding and 
shingles. We are confident we saved 
money buying an Aladdin home. 
Yours very truly, 

Brooks Lawrence. 


“DETAILS SUPPLIED BY A FIRST

are correct, for ace, the eaves

which hold the es are “‘different’”’ 
from the ordinary house, and unless

“WITH THE WEATHER 20° BELOW IT 

WAS WARM AND COMFORTABLE” 

California. 

[ am very much pleased to inform 
you that I found everything exactly 
as you represented my house, the 
“Plymouth” to be. The material was 
first class all the way through. 

The pieces fit better, I really be- 
lieve, than if the carpenters had cut 
them themselves, but as each piece 
is marked both the board and on the 
plan, I gave my head carpenter to 
understand that if a part didn’t fit to 
look for a mistake in their work and 
not cut the piece. This saved trouble 
in two instances where a carpenter 
made errors in measuring. We were 
very careful in starting the building 
plumb. 

As for saving money, the lowest 
bid I could get in town for a four 
room house (plain) was $2100.00. I 
feel that I saved at least $600.00 and 
got a larger and better house than a 
contractor would have put up. 

I can assure you that I was per- 
fectly satisfied with the house and 
as we spent the winter in it on our 
ranch near Dillon, Mont. where the 
temperature was 20° below zero, feel 
we gave it a pretty fair trial. 

Yours very truly, 
R. H: Daw.

“WARM AND COMFORTABLE IN 
ZERO WEATHER” 

Connecticut. 
Will say I think this is a very 
good way of building. Our home is 
a six-room bungalow, known as the 
“Burbank.” Starting the middle of 
July, 1919, three of us working nights 
after work, Saturday afternoons and 
Sundays, finished this house ready 
for plastering Oct. 1, which, of course, 
we contracted. We moved into this 
house Nov. 15, 1919 and had pretty 
nearly everything done except some 
painting. Last winter being a hard 
winter, gave us a good opportunity 
to find out some of its qualities, 
heat being furnished by a one-pipe 
heater. I found out from contractors 
at that time, that we saved about two 
thousand dollars building this way. 
If blue prints and instructions are 
followed, you will have no trouble in 
getting everything to fit. The ma- 
terial furnished is just as stated and 

probably a little better. 
Yours truly, 
Tho. C. Feistenberg.

IT am glad to say that the “Sun-

early this year is entirely satisfac- 
tory. The material which was fur-

I can say that this material comes 
up to the advertisements, and is ab-

material is all cut to exact length,

ceiving the material I was somewhat 
skeptical about the inside finish being

si I am the owner of an Aladdin house

The material was just as described

Sp aes PROFITABLE EXPERIENCE” 
Idaho. 
My experience with the Aladdin 
readi-cut system of building a home 
Was very pleasant, and also very 
AP profitable. Before building I looked 
at the proposition from every pos- 
sible angle and discovered that at 
local prices of material it would be 
impossible to secure the size home 
‘op! needed with the money we had avail- 
able for the purpose. Then I ordered 
a “Stanhope No. 1” and now we are 
settled in a comfortable, convenient, 
and very attractive cottage, at a sav- 
ing of one thousand dollars. The 
material was excellent and cut so 
accurately that with the comprehen- 
sive plans furnished the erection of 
this house was a very simple matter. 
I am happy to recommend the Alad- 
din Company for fair dealing. 
Very sincerely yours, 
J. Craig.

say you will. In my case you went 
that one better. You made a mat-

not notify you for several months. 
I consider the Aladdin houses. one 
of the best buys on the market. The 
auality of lumber is uniformly good. 
it is beautiful. ‘That cannot today 
be said of many lumber firms, The 
price is better than you can expect

there is no waste of time in fitting.

facility and advice cheerfully and 
one does weil to do just as they say. 
The manual of construction covers 
all points of making a home even to

woodwork myself. The mason work 
I could follow and criticize by con- 
sulting the manual.

to figure the same building now, I 
have saved at least $1100.00. That 
is by building from material bought 
here, I will say the material 
checked up in fine shape and fit to 
the 1/16 of an inch.

mine. The day that I started the

larger of the two, about 20 days

been offered a nice little sum above

for it; not a knot was found in sid-

“$325.00 AHEAD OF THE GAME” 

Tllinois. 
I had the carpenter figure the cost 
of the material if bought here in 
town, and I am just $325.00 ahead 
of the game by building the Alad- 
din way. The material is perfect 
in every way, and was very pleased 
with the wonderful selection of luin- 
ber I received. The carpenters were 
also surprised at the material. My 
home was put up in December 1918, 
and in three weeks it was practi- 
cally finished. Everything went to- 
gether in perfect shapes. Extra lum- 
ber not included in my order was 
sent with the shipment. The doors 
and interior finish wre excellent in 
every way. I expect to put up 
another home in the near future 
and it is going to be an Aladdin. 
If you could only s?e my home tor 
yourself, you would be convinced 
without a doubt as to why I, too, 
think the Aladdin way of construc- 
tion the last word in home building.

“J NEVER DEALT WITH A MORE

Concerning my Aladdin house, the 
“Dresden”, will say we surely are 
well satisfied. The material was all 
just fine and everything fit perfectly 
and as to the saving we saved be- 
tween five and six hundred dollars. 
I had several catalogs from differ- 
ent readi-cut Companies, but none of 
them suited me as well as the Alad- 
din Co, We also tried the lumber 
Co. here, but they couldn’t compete 
with you in prices and material and 
as to you-being honest and fair in 
your dealing, why I never dealt with 
a more honest company. Now if peo- 
ple are going to build and want to 
save money, my advice is order a 
readi-cut house from the Aladdin 
Company, for they are surely a good 
company to deal with and their ma- 
terial is just fine. I have taken 
great pleasure in showing people my 
new Aladdin house and _ everyone 
thinks it is just fine. Anyway I am 
well satisfied with it and with the 
company’s dealing and if I were 
going to build any more houses I 

would order them all from you. -

“A HOUSE WHICH RESISTS BOTH 
HEAT AND COLD” 
Indiana. 

The material came to me just as 
represented and my Aladdin finished 
up in fine shape. And it all went 
together without the least bit of 
trouble. One carpenter and two han- 
dy helpers put up this Aladdin, the 
“Carolina,” in twenty-four days, be- 
ginning the 23d day of October, 1919, 
so you see the weather was against 
them or the time would have been 
less. I figure that I saved between 
$450 and $500 by building an Alad- 
din and the ‘carpenters say that I 
have a house that will resist heat and 
cold better than any other near here, 
which I find to be true since living in 


it.

“I SAVED AT LEAST ONE THIRD” 


Indiana. 

I take great pleasure in saying 
that I am thoroughly satisfied in my 
own mind that I saved at least one 
third of the price of my house by © 
this method, over that of the old 
time method. The carpenters 
erected my house, including a great x 
deal of extra work such as inside ~ 
entrance to basement, 8’x10’ addi- 
tion No. 1 and screens for windows 
and doors in two weeks and four 
days. Also put in an Aladdin readi- 
cut kitchen cabinet which is more 
than satisfactory. My father, Dr. 
W. D. Stanley, has just completed a ~ 
“Pomona No. 1” and his experience 
has been a duplicate of mine. Fair. 
honest dealing and first class good 
measure material. 
Very truly yours, 


et 
— il ee 


Mrs. Fay Hess. 


“WE ARE VERY PROUD OWNERS OF 
A POMONA” 


Indiana. 

We are the very proud owners of 
the one story “Pomona” and are de- 
lighted with it. The material was ; 
all very good and as to the pieces 
fitting they fitted to a “T,” every- 
thing wert together in fine shape. 
As to saving money on it, I am sure — 
it paid me to build this way just for . 
the saving in carpenter bill, I only 
had one carpenter and by it being 
readi-cut, my son and I helped with “ 
everything only the finishing, [) ~ 
tell you what we did, three months 
from the day we hauled the material 
on the ground we moved into the 
house. One thing too that seemed 
nice, the material all came at once ~~ 
in one car. I got a few teams to > 
help me and we hauled it all right 
on to the ground, storing pilaster 
and all finished in a dry place. This 
saving running to town for a little 
of everything every day or so. Our 
carpenter is as good as there is in 
town and a hustler, and I asked him 
squarely which was the most con- . 
venient to put up and he says the ~~ 
readi-cut everytime. Right here in © 
Crown Point, there were houses be- “ey 
ing built and many of them looked so 
as though they were nearly ready a 
for ocupancy when our material ar- | 
rived the first of September, and to — — 
date those houses are not done or an 
occupied. Lumbermen claim they ~ 
cannot get the finishing material. et 
When you build this way you have KS 
all your material and some to spare. 
Will say this much, if I were to . 
build again even several times, it~ 
will always be an Aladdin readi-cut © 
house. Yours very truly, |

“THE FIRM HE WORKS FOR BOUGHT 
i9 ALADDIN HOUSES” 
Indiana. 
The Aladdin Co. does just as they 
agree to do. We are well satisfied 
with our “Dresden,” and saved over 
$300 dollars. It stands to reason, 
when a Company like the Ball Band 
Rubber Company bought nineteen 
houses, there must be some object 
in it or they would buy from the 
local dealers. I have been working

“YOU FULFILLED YOUR AGREEMENT 
TO THE LETTER” 
Indiana. 

IT am the owner of an Aladdin 
readi-cut house, and if it is possible 
I am more than satisfied. The car- 
penters in this place (those who did 
not help me as well as those who 
did) said they never saw better ma- 
terial and having worked at car- 
pentering myself a great deal, I 
know I never before worked with 
such fine material, not a crooked or 
-twisted piece among it. Everything 
went together as if it was cut to 
match, which it was, we did not 
have to cut anything, and the saving 
in time of construction is some item, 
myself and two others put up the 
frame, sheathed the entire building 
and put on the shingles in 14 days. 
I would like to see that done and 
cut the material, and the most I 
did was to read the blue prints and 
get the material to the others to be 
put in place by them. The window 
and door frames are cut and bundled 
and one can build 3 or 4 of them to 
1 if he has to cut the material. My 
home is the “Plaza,” and I figure 
I save a good $1000 over buying at 
home and in carpenter wages. I 
have a home that $6000 will not buy

“THE STANHOPE IS A VERY COSY

I am well satisfied with the man-

the Aladdin Company. The readi-cut 
system is no fake. I saved a great

Fourth, you not only save by getting 
material this way, but it does not 
take so long to put it up, which, of 
course, lessens your carpenter bill. 
I will relate a little experience, a 
neighbor of mine who started a house 
just back of mine three weeks before 
I did, getting his material here. We 
finished ours and lived in it 3 months 
before he got his done. Of course,

“THE PRETTIEST BUNGALOW THEY 
HAD EVER SEEN” 


; Maine. 

I would not ‘hesitate a minute 
about placing an order with the Alad- 
din Company. In the first place, I 
found you absolutely reliable to do 
business with. Everything came just 
as you said it would and it sure was 
a pleasure to see the thing go up. I 
think it was 14 days that it took 5 
men to put it up, including the plas- 
tering. @f course, the mason was 
the sixth man, but was not there all 
of that’time. And it took about four 
days to put the finish on inside. Ac- 
cording to what I could have had a 
house built for, at that time from 
three estimates given me here, 1! 
saved from twelve to fifteen hundred 
dollars, as near as I can figure, and 
these houses would have been per- 
fectly plain with no frills. Where 
as the “Pasadena” is a little beauty, 
you cannot imagine how much larger 
it really is, from what it looks to be 
in the catalogue. We have heard 
hundreds of comments from strang- 
ers passing by (as we are on the 
direct street to the beach) saying it 
was the prettiest bungalow they had 
ever seen. I wanted a friend of — 
mine to send for a house at the 
same time that I did last year, but 
he didn’t dare to take a chance, — 
he thought by having a. chance 
to buy part of his lumber 
from tne shipyards cheap, as they 
had shut down at that time. He got 
in so deep that he never finished it, 
and it can be bought today as it 
stands for the mortgage and one 
year’s interest. He is mighty sorry | 
he told me that he did not order an 
Aladdin as I did. The house went 
up without a hitch, and I had plenty — 
of lumber. Bveryone that saw they

“IT WENT TOGETHER LIKE MAGIC” 
Maine. 

I am the owner of one of the Alad- 
din readi-cut houses. I have built it 
largely by my own labor, after work- 
ing hours. We have lived in it since 
Nov. ist and like it. Were I to 
build again I should buy an Aladdin 
house. Last November I bought 
rough lumber for a house and had it 
hauled to my lot. Before I got the 
work started I was taken sick—for- 
tunately and when I was able to 
work again it was almost July. 
Meanwhile I had bought this Aladdin 
house as a short cut. The house was 
shipped promptly. I spent a day 
sorting the lumber and taking care 


125 


of the material and it went togethe 

like magic. I had the _ pieccs of 
frame piled in the order in which 
they would be required and numbered 
according to the plan, so there was 
no delay. Myself and two other 
men worked after 4 o’clock for about 
three weeks and had the building 
closed in except for some clap board- 
ing. For instance, if we wanted the 
frame for the front end I had them 
all in a pile and there was no delay. 
The material as a whole is of fine 
quality. Shingles, clapboards, porch 
finish interior are fine. The floors 
are good for soft wood. I found 
everything as represented and blue 
prints make the work simple. As a 
man of modest means and with only 
a limited knowledge of house build- 
ing I-was confronted with the prob- 
lem of getting together the material 
of various kinds at reasonable prices 
an especiaily difficult thing to do in 
these times, for a man without ex- 
perience. The Aladdin solves that 
problem. There is no delay, I 
bought the “Venus No. 1” because i 
seemed best adapted to my family 
needs, my lot, and my pocket book. 
It is a small house 24x18, but every 
one is astonished at the amount of 
room there is in it. This is because 
of the plan and arangement. I be- 
lieve I have saved $500 in labor and 
material. Sincerely yours,

We are more than delighted with 
our Aladdin “Pomona” No. 1. We 
visited two houses that were bought 
from different companies and our in-

Everything’ came in good condition 
and there wasn’t any trouble about 
the fitting.

here, and everything else locally, but 
when we counted the bill we found 
we could save several hundred dollars 
by buying from your company.

The man who built my house had 
never built nor seen an Aladdin house 
before, and he did not have any 
trouble fitting the pieces. He said 
the frame fit together without a bit

bit in building my house this way. I 
know I saved a contractor’s fee, 
architect’s fee and much of —

have gotten the worth of my money 
and so far as the Aladdin Company 
is concerned, I think I have a big 
bargain. <All my friends think it is

an undertaking in these times; but 
with the Aladdin Company’s assiag

proud. - 

I might also say that you “were 
not stingy with material, there was 
an abundance, so that I did not run 
short on anything but rather had 
some pieces left over. 

Another thing, I am suirieliod: at 
is the amount of room there is in 
this house. It is well planned, and 
there is not a bit of space wasted. 
We lived in a large house in the city

“ALADDIN PRICES WERE BEST”. 
Massachusetts. 


The lumber in my house was good

The plans were so simple that an 


average man could read them. We —

job.

“NO USE FOR A SAW” 


Massachusetts. 
I had no trouble in building the 
“Warren.” I had it ready for the 
plasterers in three weeks, myself 
and another man, a carpenter did the 
work. Every piece fit. No use for a 
saw. Had plenty of material and the 
best lot of lumber ever seen here, I 
saved over five hundred dollars on 
material alone and I will say it is the 
only way to build. There is no 
waste and if you want to save time 
and money, build the Aladdin way, 
that is the best. I find you cannot 
lose if you do business with the 

Aladdin Company. 
Yours very truly, 
Jacob F. Forgays. 


“MY CARPENTER IS LOUD IN HIS 
PRAISES” 


Massachusetts. 

I must say I am very well satis- 
fied with the Aladdin Company and 
the lumber I got from you. Every- 
thing went together fine and we had 
plenty of lumber for all parts. 

My carpenter is loud in his praises 
of these ‘handsome doors,’”’ he galls 
them, also the hardware. The ma- 
terial surpasses expectations. I am 
sure that much money is saved in 
buying lumber that is cut to fit, in 
this way, as there is much less waste, 
both in material and in time. 

Yours sincerely, 
Mrs. Sarah A. Horsley. 


4 JUST WANT EVERYONE TO HAVE 
A HOME LIKE IT” 


Massachusetts. 

I am glad to tell you we were per- 
fectly, yes, more than satisfied with 
our deal. You sent plenty of extra 
pieces and the quality of the lumber 
and glass and finish is far better 
than we could buy from our dealers. 

We havea lovely large house, the 
“Rochester” and a camp house, the 
“Genesee” and we recommend Alad- 
din houses to everybody. We saved 
a great deal on these purchases. 

As all our carpenters had either 
gone to war or were very busy, we 
(my husband and myself, with the 
help of our little children to hand 
us pieces and nails and hold pieces) 
started our house alone. My husband 
is not a mechanic and cannot saw a 
board straight, but he did not need 
a saw. With the blueprints and plans 
which were very simple, we laid, cut 
and fit together and nailed the sides 


of the house, then in the evening after 


_ working hours, our carpenters came 


and level everything. 


and helped us raise the sides ete.

“A FINE PERFECTLY RELIABLE FIR! 
TO DEAL WITH” 


Massachusetts. 
I will say that as far as my buiia- 
ing has proceeded I am perfectly sat-

first class. Several carpenters have 
examined it and say it is O.K. Sev- 
eral here are talking of building in 
the near future and say they thin’ 24 
they will order from you. Were > 
to build again I certainly should do 
so. I can recommend the company 
as a very fine and reliable firm to 


deal with. I think by building the 
Aladdin way I saved $274.00 to 
$300.00. Sincerely yours,

“IT IS ADMIRED BY MANY VISITORS” 
Michigan. 

I have completed one of Aladdin’s 
readi-cut houses, the “Pomona” and 
am more than satisfied in every way, 
both in saving of material and in 
time hired for its erection. I can 
give exact figures to prove just what 


this is, so that I should try the same 


way if compelled to build again. My 
old house burned during the big bliz- 
zard of January 12, 1918, and I 
started at once to build me a tempo-. 
rary living place, until I could erect 
a home. I purchased lumber from > 
our local yard to build a garage 16x18 
in which we lived all summer. 
paid at that time from $32 to $60 per 
M. for lumber that would not grade 
a good second to yours. All lumber 
received from The Aladdin Co. includ- | 
ing joists, studding, rafters, etc., was 
of the best quality. I was surprised 
all the time we were unloading the 
car aS J have not seen as good a 
grade of lumber in our: yards for 
many years. In regard to the erec- 
tion of our building, it went together 
without any trouble and fitted better 
than a great many that are cut by 
hand. My 17-year-old boy, myself 
and one carpenter began this erec- 
tion on Wednesday morning. We 
worked Wednesday and Thursday 
and Friday we had two carpenters 
and Saturday all three of the carpen- 
ters weré here. In these four days 
we put the posts in the cellar, nailed 
the. girder together and planned it, 
erected all the frame work, nailed 
down both sub-floors, sheathed it as- 
high as the eaves, put on the rafters 
and put in all the cross partitions 
except two small eaves. The carpen- 
ters were good ones, and worked nine 
hours a day. The boy and I worked 
when and as long as we wished. We 
are proud of it and it is admired by 
many visitors. I wish you could see 
it. Two other Aladdin houses were 
erected in this vicinity this summer. 
I am well acquainted with the own- 
ers and have talked with them and 
visited their houses. They are just — 
as well satisfied as I am.

Alonzo Vicary.

“I COULD GO ON MENTIONING MORE 
OF YOUR SQUARE DEALING” 
Michigan. 
The material from the Aladdin 
Co. was of excellent quality, much 
better than we could have gotten 
here and we think cheaper and we 
consider it was put up in much less 
time, being readi-cut. Our home is 
the “Pomona No. 1.” In each kind 
of material and sizes were pieces 
marked “extra.” We had enough of 
these to make several things we de- 
sired. Also of the finishing lumber 
there were extra pieces of casings, 
to case two openings to dumb waiter 
and for the door to built-in ironing 
board. The Oregon Fir inside finish 
furnished with the houses is beauti- 
fully finished in natural color. The 
paint and varnish, also plaster fur- 
nished was of the very best quality. 
I could go on mentioning more of 
your square dealing, but think this is 
enough to prove to you my apprecia- 
tion. Sincerely, 
Mrs. S. A. Green.

EST AND BEST KIND OF A HOUSE- 
TO BUILD” 

Michigan. 

I am well pleased with my home 
which I helped to build with a car- 
penter and a helper, it saved me lots 
of time and money. I had lots of 
lumber and material. There was no 
waste. I really think it is the cheap- 
est and the best kind of a house to 
build. Yours truly, 

Louis Ferguson.

THEN SOME” 4 

Michigan. 

Am well satisfied with my home in 

every way. The material was better 

than I could buy of my local dealer 
and the pieces fit just fine. I saved 
money on the material and labor. 
The Aladdin readi-cut system is the 
only way to build and The Aladdin 
Co. do all they agree to do and then 

some, Yours very truly,

“THE PIECES FIT JUST AS IF THEY 
HAD GROWN THERE” 
Michigan. 
We have an Aladdin house and we 
are well pleased with it. I consider 
I saved several hundred dollars and 
the material could not be bought at 
our local lumber yard at any price. 
The pieces fit just as though they 
growed there. 
Respectfully yours, 
C. G. Denio. 


“PLEASE DON’T COME SATURDAY, 
THAT’S MY BUSY DAY” 
Michigan. 
The lumber I bought for the house 
was all No. 1, just as good as a man 
can buy anywhere, and every piece 
fitted good. If you would like to see 
my house, you are very welcome, 
only let me know the day but please 
don’t come Saturday as that’s my 
busy day. Just moved in this week.

I have built two Aladdin readi-cut ~

is good and plenty of it. The pieces 
went together very easily so you see

“$1,000.00 SAVED ON THE JOB” 

Michigan. 
With reference to the Aladdin 
houses, I would say that I am very 
well satisfied with the entire trans- 
action. The material was very 
good. The plans are so simplified that 
most any ordinary man can see exact- 
ly how it should go. I believe that I 
saved at least one thousand dollars 
on the job. I had enough material 
of each kind and in several cases 
there was considerable extra. Even 
though I sent my check in full in 
advance thereby saving the 5 percent 
discount yet your company was as 
anxious to give me good service as 
though you had not reecived the 

money. Yours very truly,

house, came so arranged in the car 
that it was very easy to handle. We 
believe we saved from ten to twenty

“THE COLONIAL COMFORTABLE AND

Mississippi. 

I am glad to say that my Aladdin 
readi-cut house was very satisfactory 
in every respect, comfortable and 
convenient beyond expectation. 

The lumber, in the Colonial, espe- 
cially the framing, was exceptional 
—hbetter than can be bought of deal- 
ers here or in any of our near-by 
cities. The finishing lumber was all 
good, sound and well polished. 

Iam sure that a great saving was 
effected by me in the purchase of this 
house, especially in the mill work, 
which was of good quality and which, 
now, is so difficult to procure and 
for which such high prices are de- 
manded. On the whole, I think I 
saved at least 30 percent. I really 
think more than that, and I have 
been perfectly satisfied with the 
house. As to the fit of the parts, I 
found it perfect. Mill cutting is al- 
ways more accurate than hand cut- 
ting. Very truly yours, 

E. D. Dinkins.

percent and in addition I got much 
better lumber than I could purchase 
down here, having no knots in same.

at all, every board fitted together as 
blue prints showed. Mr. Kelso hadn’t 
seen the plans till he came to build, 
he seemed to think the prints very 


simple and labor saving. The paint ~~ 


is of the best grade—we had plenty 
for 2 coats, also quite a few boards 
left over, especially the siding. 

We have many visitors, all seem 
well pleased—some have promised 
to give you their order when labor

excellent carpenter and he _ experi- 
enced no difficulty in fitting the

We found you people generous with 
your material, there being plenty of 


everything and in some instances just 


a little to spare. We believe we saved 
by building this way, but the only 
way we know we did is by compar- 
ison. We did not figure with the 
local lumberman before we built, but 
compared with the houses of three 
or four of our friends supposed to 
be the same cost as ours, there isn’t 
any comparison, ours so far exceeds 
any of theirs. 

Our cottage is situated four and 
one-half miles in the country over 
gumbo roads, so by ordering all ma- 
terial at once and having everything 
ready to work with we saved our 
carpenters time and ourselves much 
grief in waiting for the local lumber 
yard to send for materials they did 
not have on hand. We found you 
courteous to deal with, the changes

“YM FROM MISSOURI, YOU’VE GOT 
TO SHOW ME—WE DID” . 
Missouri. 


I am well pleased with my pur-- 
chase and would do the same thing — 
over. I had never seen any of your 
houses, but concluded from your ad- 
vertising, that you were on the 
square and that’s the way I found © 
you. As to material, my carpenter _ 
said it was the best he had ever. 
handled. Better throughout than I 
could have bought at our home yard. 

The dimension material was all 
cut to fit and with the blueprints, 
we had no trouble in erection. I am 
a farmer and with the help of an- 
other farmer and one carpenter, built 
the house. Christmas day the lum- 
ber was in the car in town and on the 
third of March we moved into the 
house, not completed, but near enough 
so we could live in it. Weather too 
cold to do the varnishing but with 
the stain alone, the woodwork is pretty 
enough to leave, as I am doing lots 
of the work myself and as the farm- 
ing season is on, I will have to wait 
a while to finish the building and 
painting. 
« When I unloaded the lumber at 
town, there were a number of men 
remarked about the quality of lum- 
ber and as I am the first man in this 
part of the country to send away for 
a house, there was lots of talk abomy 
i 


Several saw the house in erection 
and some have seen it since. I have 
it stained inside and one coat fe) 
paint outside, and all have pronounced 
it fine. One man of 65 years said he 
had never seen such pretty doors 
before. As to material furnished, I 
had a little of everything left. * 

You guarantee clear siding and I 
have a house sided with lumber 
which you cannot find a knot. I ats 
well satisfied with my venture a 
if I need to, or have occasion to bu 
another house, will send to you again

Missouri. 
I bought three Aladdin readi- cut

‘them but they rented to such good 
advantage that I have refused to part 
with them and am getting ready to 
build or erect about 10 more in few 
‘months, as soon as I can finish some 
grading on my property. 
The grade of lumber furnished cost 
me less than what I can buy same 
grade for here, but the greatest sav- 
ing is not in the cost of the lumber, 
‘but in the labor. A carpenter com- 
| petent to build a house as good as 
the ones I have. from lumber bought 
here receive 85c to $1.00 per hour. 
Men competent to assemble the readi- 
cut house can be had at $3.50 to $4.00 
per day. I gave my houses out on 
contract and it took about 22 days to 
complete the three. This included 
putting up plaster board and brick 
chimneys. Two men worked on the 
job. I paid $50 per house.

73 years old and, of course, not as

was very satisfactory. He is an old

hundred dollars by building the

fact that the lumber was a better

The Aladdin people are the most

with. You can depend on every word

every piece is cut to fit. A builder 
does not need a saw on the job. The 
foundation was erected according to 
plans, and when the building was 
placed thereon it wasn’t an eighth 
of an inch out. I believe two men 
ean build one of these houses in 
three weeks if the weather is favor- 
able for them to work, and I have 
reference to the “Franklin”, which 
is no small building and we can ‘say 
a very satisfactory home in which 
we are well pleased and I believe we 
have saved at least one thousand dol- 

lars in building the Aladdin way.

“A WONDERFUL GRAIN ALL

Iam entirely satisfied with all the 
material that I received. It took 
me two and a half months to build 
the house from beginning to end, en- 
tirely alone, with the exception of 
the doors, windows and front stair- 
way, which I had a carpenter do. 
Everything went together very well, 
as all material was marked. We 
have two ready built clothes clos- 
ets, which I had to put together. 
The doors have a wonderful grain 
all through the house. By building 
the house myself, I saved at least 
$500 on labor alone. [I did not lose 
that much salary by staying home 
and building it myself. If I had a 
house built like it here from a build- 
er it would have cost me $1000 more. 
I am a plumber by trade and did all 
improvements alone, except electrici- 
ty. I put in hot water heat too. Of 
course, if I had all the labor done I 
would not have saved as much as I 


did. At any rate I saved consider-

“CONTAGIOUS ENTHUSIASM” 


New York. 
Iam glad to say that Mrs. Roe and 
myself are well satisfied with our 
Aladdin home and are very enthu- 
siastic over the readi-cut method of 
building. In fact, our enthusiasm is 
so contagious that one mother-in-law 
has just bought a lot adjacent to ours 
and will put up an Aladdin in the 
spring and a second mother-in-law is 
just about to follow suit. The ma- 
terial used in our house was cer- 
tainly of first class quality. Every 
little piece from the foundation up 
was provided. I am not a carpenter 
and have put up the house practically 
all myself. In fact, the only work 
we hired done was the masonry foun- 
dation and the installation of the 
doors and windows. If a competent 
carpenter put up an Aladdin house he 
should not have the slightest difficul- 
ty. An amateur like myself must ex- 
pect some trouble due to his own in- 
experience. But these things are not 
the fault of the house. Even with 
all my inexperience, I have made the 
following record, working at my busi- 
ness office every day, and walking 2 
miles each way, spending only spare 
time on the house. Lumber arrived 


May 12th, and we began keeping . 
house in semi-completed building 
July 1. Sept 1st we had everything 


sufficiently completed and one bed 
room entirely finished up, even to 
wall paper and paint, so that our son 
made his first appearance there on 
that date. November 15, as I write, 
we have hot water furnace running— 
all my own work—everything all 
closed up tight and ready for winter 
except that I still have some outside 
side wall shingling to do. I had no 
intention of going so far into detail 
when I began but you see how enthu- 
siastic we are. We are very proud 
of our home, prouder still because we 
both were able to work on it with 
our own hands—my wife had done all 
the painting. 

‘Today, without figuring my own la- 
bor, our place would bring easily — 
$1000 more than we have put into it.

“¥ AM COMPLETELY SATISFIED” 
New York. 

I am very glad to state that lam 
completely satisfied with my house, 
the ‘Erie’. In the erection of the 
building I was obliged to cut only 
three different pieces of wood. The 
material was good, and when [I say 
that I had to cut only three pieces, 
I think this is sufficient answer as to 
whether the pieces would fit in place. 
I am convinced that I saved a ma- 
terial sum of building in this man- 
ner. My house is shingled all over. 
In every way I was much pleased 
with my connection with The Alad- 
din Company, 

Very sincerely yours, -

IT am the owner of an Aladdin home, 
and I will never regret the day if

the readi-cut system. It is very sav- 
ing in time and in that way saves 
money. I find I have saved from five 
to seven hundred dollars after ‘my 
freight and cartage has been paid. 
Your material is just what you say 
it is, and you furnish plenty of it. 
The pieces fit perfectly. If anyone 
wants to have my opinion of the 


Aladdin homes, I would say they

home. Yours sincerely

I purchased a “Stanhope No. 2” 
from your people last June, which 
was promptly shipped to me, and 
my carpenters erected it within about 
four weeks. We were well pleased — 
with most everything, and I believe 
that at the prevailing prices at the 
time, I probably saved $400 to $500. 
in the cost of the building. This ap- 
parent saving I judged from esti- 
mates that I had secured from other 
builders. The -one satisfaction Wwe 
have in having purchased from your 
company, and which is worth while, 
is that everything was furnished as — 
represented, which in the case of 
contracting with the average builder, 
often times turns out different from 
original plans, and which leads to 
changes being made during the 
course of erection, and which entails 
additional expense. ee El

as you know labor is very high, and 
in buying a readi-cut house there was — 
no waste of material. I found your 
people very square to deal with. 
Am thinking of building a bungalow —

“I SURELY HAVE A FINE HOUSE” 
New York. 
I can say that I am thoroughly 
satisfied with my Stanhope No. 1, and 
found the material good. Everything 
went together in first class shape, 
and I did all the work myself, with 
very little help, such as helping to 
out the frame in place, and the mason 
work. I can say that it surely was 
a big saving to me. I never did any 
carpenter work before. My wife read 
the plans to me and I did the work, 
as plans are very plain and easy to 
understand. I had many people come 
to see the readi-cut house, among 
4 them was a man who inspects houses 
a for the loan,’ and he said that the 
of material was better than he had seen 
‘ee in many a day, and the work was 
aa better than most contractors would 
do it, and I surely have a fine home.

“NOT A SINGLE THING LACKING” 
Pen North - Carolina. 
I am pleased with my Aladdin 
~ readi-cut house in every way. 
_ The material was better than could 
_ have been purchased from local deal- 
ers and as to price, well, it was far 
below that asked by dealers. The 
finish on all- material was the best 
I have ever seen, making a surface 
that would take any kind of finish 
one would desire to use. 
The material fit nicely and every 
jiece of it was marked so that there 
ould be no trouble in placing every 
piece just where it belonged. Al- 
most any one could take the blue- 
ints and erect the house whether 
y were a carpenter or not.

“SINCE BUYiNG MY HOUSE 15 MORE 

ALADDINS ARE BEING ERECTED 

HERE” 
North Carolina. 

I bought the “Colonial” last sum- 
mer and it went up very satisfac- 
torily. The lumber was O. K., and 
everything just as represented, and 
I know I saved considerable on ma-~ 
terial and it was good. The larg- 
est saving was in labor. The house 
was, of course, constructed in a much 
shorter time, everything fitted in ~ 
place, and I am well pleased with — 
same and know I saved several thou- 
sand dollars. I added to my house 
a small addition 14x14, two stories 
and was in a position to note the 
difference in cost of material .and 
erection. Since buying my house 
there has been about 15 more Alad- 
dins sold and being built here. <Ac- 
eording to my experience and the 
experience of others, they are just 
as represented. 

Yours very truly,

with me. [I have bought and built 
the past summer several houses from

Have rented several of the houses

and the floors.

“EVERYTHING ACCORDING TO 
HOYLE” 


North Carolina. 

During my vacation in the summer 
I put up the Sheridan. The material 
was exactly as advertised and what 
is more, there was plenty to spare 
of everything. The doors and wood- 
work in the house are simply beauti- 
ful and are something one cannot buy 
in the open market “for three times 
the price. The mantel piece book 
shelves and a buffet for dining room 
make such an improvement. As far as 
quality of material is concerned, you 
cannot beat Aladdin. . Then [I saved 
15 percent in labor because I had 
everything, even the electric fixtures 
ou plumbing material, right on the 
job. 

I am entirely satisfied with my 
bargain, everything was according to 
Hoyle. Very truly yours, 

C. S. Warren. 


‘] LIKE THE ALADDIN PEOPLE FOR 
THERE ARE NONE BETTER” 
North Carolina. 

I take pleasure in telling you about 
my Aladdin home. In a town of 
about fifteen. thousand population, 
with prices of timber jumping every 
day, brick high and everything so 
unsettled, I found myself wanting to 
build a house. Everyone advised me 
not to order a house, stating that I 
was taking a big risk, they of course, 
not knowing any more about a readi- 
cut house than I did. There was not 
a readi-cut house in our city and 
mine is the first. Against my ad- 
visers, I thought I could save some 
money, and being one who will not be 
downed, I decided to place the order 
with your company. I selected the 
“Brentwood” and within 30 days the 
entire house was here. It: did not 
take me so very long to erect it, 
and I say emphatically that people 
who put it up were not familiar with 
that kind of building, yet they had 
no trouble. Every piece was marked 
and fitted to a dot. I have a base- 
ment under entire end of my house, 
steam heat, and had porch glassed in 
and made ‘into a sun porch. People 
here were skeptical, they would walk 
around the timber when placed on 
the ground and inspect and try to 
find fault. The different contractors 
would render their opinions, some 
saying it was O. K., others saying 
that they thought it would not do, 
and some saying it would take a 
PHILADELPHIA LAWYER to put it 
together. The house was put to- 
gether, today I am living in it and 


am simply delighted. Now, not one, 


but many are interested. Everyone 


seems to like it, and we are going

“SINCE COMPLETING MY HOUSE, W q 

ALADDINS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT > 
HERE” 

North Carolina 

I completed one of the Aladdin 


October 1st, 1919. 
The material furnished for this 
house was absolutely satisfactory, | 
and was of better quality than I had 
ever seen, because it was free from 
knots and well seasoned. 
The pieces of lumber which youn 
people sent were all scientifically cut, 
and fit together perfectly—it was 
surprise to see how ‘well the mitred- 
pieces fit. { 
The service I received, was great, 
which I attributed to the fact that 
you had perfected same to its present 
igh standard through fifteen years: 
experience. 
Since completing my home, tate r 
Aladdins have been bought here, with 
a probability that this number will 
reach fifty by fall. #

“THE FINISHED PRODUCT DISPELS 
ALL DOUBTS” 
North Carolina. ~ 
I can recommend the Aladdin ee 
pany and their houses without re- 
straint. I have recently constructed 
the ‘“‘Winthrop,” and I not only have 
a beautiful home, but a good bargain. 
By comparing the cost of construc- 
tion and cost of material of the Alad: 
din house with that of a _simila 
bungalow constructed by my archi- 
tect at the same time, I find that the 
Aladdin system has saved me at 
least eight hundred dollars ($800.00). 
The payroll of the local built bunga- 
low more than doubled that of the 
Aladdin bungalow. The Aladdin sys- 
tem is a great asset, especially at 
this particular time when carpenters 
get such high wages in Nogth. Caro- 
ina. j 
When the “Winthrop” came all 
material checked up, and all pie oe 
fitted in place. My carpenters wer 
working on their first readi-cut | job 
and I was very dubious over the 
outcome, but the finished produce 
dispels all doubts, 
further recommending you gentlem 
in regard to your “Golden Rule.’ 
have found you people thorouy 
trustworthy and prompt in. ‘busi

“IN FACT MUCH BETTER THAN I

Ohio. 


We are more than pleased with our 
Aladdin house. While it is not quite 
finished, we are living in it anyway. 
I am doing all the work myself and — 
have farmed and done many other > 
things this summer, so that makes 
my work on the house very slow. 
The material is just as represented, 
in fact, much better than I expected 
to get. Everyone that saw it as I un- 
‘loaded the car pronounced it first — 
class. Everything I ordered came to_ 
me in first class condition. The blue | 
prints sent with the building are so 
simple and plain that anyone need — 
not have the least bit of trouble in ~ 
-erecting his house. My brother helped 
me some and neither of us are pro- 
fessed carpenters. The rafters, and in 
fact all the frame work, fit better 
than we could have possibly cut it, 
because it is cut by machinery. The 
only place we used a saw on the 
frame work was in making opening 
for the chimney. 

At the price of labor here in ce

I saved at least two hundred

say, “What a nice place.’ I am cer- 
tainly pleased with my bargain, the 
material is fine, could not be any bet- 
ter. The wood- work inside is ‘the 
best. The grain is great. The house 
went together slick as a whistle, and 
every piece fit snug. Even the sid- 
‘ing lapped over so nicely. I saved 
over three hundred dollars if not 


more. The lumber arrived in good 
shape. ‘There was no cull stuff in 
any of it. The sheeting is No. 


The lumber arrived here the twen- 
tieth of February and the twenty- 
fourth of April we moved in, so you 
ean see the time you save. Had 
some bad days too.

would most certainly build by the 
readi-cut method.

I desire to state that the service 
rendered me by you people surpassed 
my expectations. Not only was it 
courteous and prompt, but the lum- 
ber and materials were far better 
than I could secure in this market. 

One of the carpenters who erected 
my house figured out the bill at pre- 
vailing prices here and the best he 
_ could make it was about $250.00 more 
than I paid for my “Gretna,” and he 
could get no such excellent siding 
as was furnished in this market at 
all. Will say every piece fit in just 

where it was intended, the plans 
were simple and plain and the house 

went.up like magic. In fact, after 
- the sub floor was in, two men got 
the house ready for the plasterers in 
five days. I figure on a conservative 
basis, I saved $175.00 to $200.00 car- 
_penter bill, at the prevailing rate of

of this plan of building but I went

“THE BEST PROOF OF SATIS-

Ohio. 


I think the best proof of satisfac- 
tion is the fact that we shall build 
Aladdin houses if we decide to put 
up any more for renting purposes. 
The carpenter whom I engaged for 
the work, before sending in my or- 
der, thought he could buy the mate- 
rial from local dealers and erect the 
house at a saving, but after getting 
prices and estimating, he found that 
it would cost quite a bit more. 

The material was just as repre- 
sented and the carpenter experienced 
no trouble in finding pieces or in 
fitting them in place. 

Many people have admired our 
bungalow and some were surprised 
to learn that it was a readi-cut 
house. All my transactions with the 
Aladdin Co. were entirely satisfac- 
tory and I can sincerely recommend 
your methods. Very truly yours,

I have the most attractive home on 
the street. 

The material furnished was good, 
plenty of everything and I believe 
every piece cut to fit perfectly. 

I am satisfied the material would 
have cost me several hundred dollars 
more had I purchased from local 
dealers. Should I build another 
house it no doubt would be an Alad- 
din. You are honorable and gave 
me a square deal.

The Aladdin readi-cut house I built 
last summer is a bargain and I am | 
satisfied in every way. 

Before making the purchase I sub- 
mitted the plans to two contractors. 
One offered to furnish all material 
and build the house for twenty-eight 
hundred, ‘the other said it could not 
be built for any such price. 

The material was good. You can- 
not find a knot in the siding, floor- 
ing or finish of the “Herford” for 
there were none there. The hard- 
ware is first class. The doors and 
woodwork show exceptionally fine 
grain. 

The material joined perfectly. Re- 
quired no _ cutting, therefore no 
waste. The material held out and a 
number of dollars worth left. Be- 
lieve me, it costs too much to hire 
carpenters to saw boards as high as 
wages are and the lumber wasted 
counts into money fast.

“BUILT BY TWO FARMERS WITH- 
OUT EXPERIENCE” 


Oklahoma. 
I have the Aladdin readi-cut ‘De- 
troit” in course of construction. 


Am well satisfied with my purchase 
and consider it a bargain. The ma- 
terial was all good and most of. it 
much better than we could purchase 
locally. The pieces all fit nicely with 
one exception and that was’~ not so 
serious but that we overcame nicely 
without the aid of a carpenter. In 
fact, we built the house as it stands 
with no experienced help, just my 
brother and I, and we are only com- 
mon farmers. 


“THERE WAS NOT ONE MISFIT” 
Pennsylvania. 
_ __Proud to say I am an owner of a 
Hudson readi-cut house. The ma- 
' terial was first class; and the pieces 
were all there and there was not 
g@ one misfit and what I saved from buy-

“GLAD TO SAY WE ARE PROUD OF 
OUR HOME” 
Pennsylvania. 

My husband and my three boys 
built our home without any help 
from anyone. The material was bet- 
ter than any of the houses that are 
being built around here. Everyone 
that has seen it says that the ma- 
terial is the best they have seen. All 
the pieces fit in place without any 
sawing or bother. We followed the 
plans on the blue print that you sent 
and we could not. go wrong. My 
youngest son, 15 years old, found all 
the pieces of wood just when they 
wanted them saving lots of time. We 
have saved a good bit, too. Our 
house is very warm, and with the 
gas on for cooking in the kitchen we 
have been warm enough. I am only 
too glad to say we are proud of our 
home. 

Yours sincerely, 
Mrs. Fred M. Hisele. 


“CARPENTERS SPEAK WELL OF 
THEM” 


Pennsylvania. 
The plans sent me for my bunga- 
low were fine, and very easy for any 
one to understand. All material was 
first class, and had a full plenty of 
everything to finish the job. I am 
Pattern maker foreman at the Luk- 
ing Steel Co., and they have built 
several Aladdin houses, and I heard 
several of the carpenters speak well 
of them. Yours very truly, 
LeRoy. Algier. 


“] HAVE BEEN TREATED MORE THAN 
FAIR” 


Pennsylvania. 
The material was just as’ repre- 
sented in the house catalogue. “All 
pieces fit very accurate and there 
was an abundance of material. I feel 
I saved several hundred dollars by 
building by your method. My ex- 
perience is that I have been treated 

more than fair. Yours sincerely,

“THE ALADDIN COMPANY WAS 
VERY SQUARE WITH ME” 


Pennsylvania. 
I am glad to advise that all the 
material in the “Hudson” was all 


first class, all pieces fitting properly 
into their places, and all very plain- 
ly marked, thus making the _ con-

by this method, I saved 15 percent of 
the total cost of the construction of

Pennsylvania. ; 

Have been living in my Pomona 
since July last and will say that 
we are perfectly satisfied. I. fig- 
ure I saved $600 to $800 on my 
home. The material was first class, 
and everything fit perfectly. If 1 
was to build again I should build 
an Aladdin. I expect to build a 
home on my farm in a few years -

“WE HAVE A HOME. TO BE PROUD 


Pennsylvania. — 
The “Plaza” is a beautiful house. 
My husband and.I are satisfied in 
every -way with it. Even though 
we were strangers, we found you the 
finest and promptest firm we ever 
dealt with. If ever I should build 
again it would be an Aladdin house. I 
have had over a hundred friends here

“ERECTED 17 OF YOUR HOUSES IN 
THE LAST YEAR” 
Pennsyivania. . 
I wihs to state that all material 
in my Aladdin readi-cut house was 
first class in every way. ‘The pieces 
fit exact. 
and a few extra pieces. I found the 
material exactly as specified in the 
catalogue. I saved $700.00 on my 
house. I have erected 17 of your

I have the “Venus No. 1” and am 
very well pleased with the house. 
It went together just as well as if 
it had been cut by the carpenter on 
the job. The material was of the 
very best quality and I saved about 
$700. 00 on the deal. 
Yours truly, 

R. H. Kirk. 


“COULD NOT WISH ANYTHING 
MORE Cosy” 
Pennsylvania. 
I am very pleased to teil about our 
home and the square deal I got from 
_ the Aladdin Company. The material, 
both lumber and hardware, are the 
best you could wish for and each 
piece is cut exact and marked so 
that there can be no possible mistake 
in putting it together and lots of it 
left over too. Same with the paint 
for the interior also outside. My 
husband figured out that we had 
saved a good bit building the Alad- 
din way. Ours is the “Dresden” and 
_ for two people you could not wish for 
_ anything more cosy. We have pipe- 
less furnace installed right between 
- -the living and dining room. We have 
an extra lot and if ever we build -it

“I WOULD DO IT THE SAME WAY” 

Pennsylvania. 
In regard to my house I am pleased 
to advise that I am entirely satis- 
fied. The stock was all that one 
could ask as to quality and condi- 
tion, and it all went together in fine 
shape. I am sure there was con- 
siderable saving in price, and if J

“EXPERIENCE ONE OF PROFIT AND 
PLEASURE” 
Pennsylvania. 


I must say that my experience has 
been one of profit and pleasure. I 
built the “Pomona No. 2,” found it 
O. K., both as to material and fit- 
tings. All pieces went together just 
as represented. Had plenty of all © 
kinds of lumber. I saved at least 
$750.00 on my _ house. The inside 
finishes in my house are all clear ma- | 
terial, not a knot, also the flooring | 
and the doors are the finest I ever 
saw; A No. 1 quality of glass, paints 
and varnishes the best. I also bought 
my heater, bath room fixtures, win- 
dow and door. screens, spouting, 
kitchen sink. and medicine chest for 
bath room, and kitchen cupboard. All 
were 100 per cent good. It is a plea- 
sure to.recommend Aladdin houses.

“PEOPLE SAY IT IS FINE” 
Pennsylvania. 

I am satisfied I saved money on 
buying one of the Aladdin readi-cut 
houses as the lumber was all first- 
class and every piece fit fine. I 
have had several people look at our 
house and they think it is fine. 

Yours truly, 
M. J. Duignan. “f 


“MY FAITH IS SUCH” | 
Pennsylvania. - 
The lumber was better than I could ~ 
purchase here. It is better than I 
expected. Everyone that saw it said 
it was fine. In the erection of the © 
“Stanhope,”’ we did not have to use 
@ saw on any piece to make it fit. 4 
It does not take a mechanic to build 
one of the Aladdin readi-cut houses. Z 
It took one man and myself 25 days 
to complete it. The doors, windows, 
hardware, paint, varnish and stain is 
all O. K. I could not ask for any- — 
thing better. I have at least $1000.00 
on the building. My faith is such | 
that if I were building a dozen 
houses they would all be Aladdin 
readi- cut. es

“WE CANNOT EXPRESS IN WORDS 
HOW SS SA asia! WE 


Pennsylvania. 

We purchased the ‘“Wiinthrop” 
readi-cut house and we cannot ex- 
press in words how highly pleased 
we are, both with the material and 
the easy way in which it went to- 
gether, 

The blue prints are so plain that 
any one can understand them and as 
each piece of lumber is shown on the 
blue print and is marked with the 
size corresponding with that shown 
on the print, there was no trouble in 


assembling the different parts in 
their proper place. 
We had extra pieces left over 


from each kind of material and be- 
lieve that we saved at least one- 
third of the cost of the building by 
purchasing the lumber direct from 
the manufacturers. The inside finish 
of the house is very nice and a great 
deal better than we would have pur- 
chased locally. —

“THE EDISON A REAL BARGAIN” 
Pennsylvania. 
I am the proud owner of one of the 
‘Aladdin houses,”-the “Edison.” It, 
along with several of the others near 
the same price, are real bargains. 
First, because the lumber is just 
what you claimed it would be; sec- 
ond, it was ready for the carpenters 
or myself to put together for the 
blueprints make it plain as day, for 
anyone can do his own work which 
makes a great saving in the cost of 
building. Third, consider the grade 
' of lumber and compare it with that 
which the contractor or dealer would 
supply. By comparing prices in this 
way I found a difference of 33-1/3% 
to 40%. 
Yours very truly,

I don’t believe I could be any more

Mieteadctions. I believe anyone with 
half an eye could put one of these 
houses together, and I had plenty of 
material for everything necessary

I wish to state that I am the proud

The 
material is good and plenty of it 
and the pieces fit nicely. We had 
no trouble in putting up the house, 
as everything was plainly marked 
and the blue prints are very plain. 
I think the Aladdin Company a very 
fine firm to do business with. Three 
of the biggest contractors here looked 
at my house and they said it looked 
goo to them and admitted that they 
could not do as well for -the price.

MATERIAL”

The “Maples” I built this summer 
is wonderful and I am more than 
satisfied. 
am a carpenter and I never 
worked. better material, and I think 
I saved $250.00 to $300.00 on this

“BEING A CARPENTER, HE KNOWS” 
Pennsylvania. 

After my lumber laid out all win- 
ter from some time in October. until 
the 7th of April, when I started to 
build, the lumber was all right and 
just what was claimed. I never saw 
better lumber in a house, being a 
carpenter myself and with the aid 
of my father, who is 78 years old, 
we built the house and it sure is a 
nice one. I am satisfied you can 
hang your saw on a nail and not 
use it unless you make a mistake in 
your measurements. Was not held 
close on anything, plenty of nails, 
plenty of lath and plenty of paint. I 


‘gave the digging of the cellar and 


stone work out on contract, also the 
plumbing and plastering and I know 
I could not buy a house of the same 
kind as cheap as you sell them for. 
Best wishes from 
A. T. Dutton. 


“ONE OF THE HANDSOMEST IN THE 
NEIGHBORHOOD” 
Pennsylvania. 

My house is almost completed and 
we are entirely satisfied with the 
treatment awarded us. The material 
sent us is just as you said it would 
be and we have had no trouble at all 
in building this house. Every bundle 
was marked and the boards fit with- 
out any difficulty. There was no 
waste of any kind and I feel I have 
made a great saving in buying this 
way, as I did not have to pay for the 
time it takes a man to cut the boards 
to specifications, and at the cost of 
labor now, that means something. 
Also we had all of the material right 
on hand and did not. have to wait for 
delayed shipments, which would hold 
us up. We did not have to worry 
about running short of material. My 


neighbors are very much interested in’

my home, another man built a house 
about two blocks from where I live,

only is there a difference in the cc 
of the house, but the lumber far s

build again, it will surely be il 
Aladdin Way, as from my own

“MY SHERIDAN FINE” -

The material in my “Sheridan” was 
fine, all that possibly could be ex- 
pected. Every piece fitted perfectly. 
I feel quite sure I am a “couple hun- 
dred dollars to the good.”

“THE BEST LUMBER THAT EVER 
CAME TO TOWN”. 
Pennsylvania. 
I feel safe in saying that I saved 
$500 in buying my Aladdin readi-cut 
_house, as material such as I received 
would have been impossible to have 
gotten here at any price, and every- 
one who looked it over when the car 
was being unloaded said it was the 
best lumber that ever came to this 
town. As to the fitting of the pieces 
it would have been hard to get car- 
-penters to fit anything near as neat, 
as I did not allow a saw on the job 
until we started to shingle, then we 
naturally had to cut shingles for 
the valleys in roof. 
Yours truly, 

John E. Hawk.

“THE TALK OF THE TOWN” 
Pennsylvania. 


I consider myself fortunate in get- 
ting an Aladdin house. No time 
wasted in measuring every piece of 
lumber or in cutting or sawing into 
lengths, and consequently no waste 
in material, as in the old way of 
building. The architects plans are fur- 
nished. This cost is cut out. There 
were no delays in deliveries of 
your lumber. Just. think of getting 
all your lumber for the house in one 
car, and all at one time, and no 
chance for fluctuations in the price 
of the lumber from day to day. When 
you trade with the Aladdin folks you 
get a square deal, and good, clean 
lumber, in appearance and in qual- 
ity. In a word the lumber sent me 
was superb, and the supply was more 
than sufficient. CUT-TO-FIT—It. 
was the talk of the town how quick- 
ly the house was erected by my two 
carpenters, all due to the Aladdin 
readi-cut system, thus saving time 
which is a very extravagant item 
these days. Very truly yours, 

M. G. Umstead, 


“NOT A CENT FOR REPAIRS IN FIVE 
YEARS” 


Pennsylvania. 


I am very much pleased to have 
the opportunity to give you this in- 
formation. as both Mrs. Greenawalt 
and myself never lose a chance to 
tell others about the advantages in 
building the Aladdin way and the 
money that can be saved. About five 
years ago we decided we were not 
going to pay rent all our lives and 
indeed, we thought at that time that 
we had paid out sufficient money to 
have paid for a°-home of our own. 
We, therefore, decided to purchase a 
piece of ground and erect a home of 
some kind. After I had secured the 
ground I asked for bids from sev- 
eral local contractors on the furnish- 
ing and erecting of a five-room bun- 
galow, but the cost was great, so 
about this time I saw your adver- 
tisement in a magazine. I sent for 
your catalogue and was very well 
pleased with the appearance and de- 
scription of the readi-cut homes, 
also your manner of doing business 
on the Golden Rule basis. After 


visiting one of your houses which | 


was located several miles from me 
and after talking with the owner. I 
decided that the readi-cut way was

tors who bid on erecting a house 
for me. The finish inside was beau- 
tiful and was absolutely knotless, — 
true to the “dollar a knot” guaran- 
tee. ‘The quality of the sheeting 
lumber was even better than any — 
other I had ever seen. The red 

cedar siding furnished was abso- 
lutely knotless. I estimate I saved 
approximately $400 on the building 
of this house the Aladdin way Over 
what it would have cost me by let-— 
ting the job to a contractor, besides — 
I got much better lumber and had © 
the pleasure of superintending the 
job myself. We lived in this house 
for five years and last summer 1 
built the “Burbank.” This was @ 
much larger house and, of course, 
more expensive. However, the ma- 
terial was fine in every respect. yo 
carpenters told me they had neve 
worked with better materials, in fact 
had never seen better lumber and 
they were both old experienced men. 
The paint and varnish were of the 
best grade obtainable and made a very 
satisfactory job. You sent plenty of 
material of all kinds. We moved 
into this house, the “Burbank,” 
on labor day last, and have lived 
in it all winter. ‘These houses are ~ 
very . warm in winter, there be- 

ing double floors and double walls. — 
Windows are also of good fit, so that 
they are tight and do not allow any 
cold air to enter. I did not get an 
opportunity to grade the yard around 
the house last fall, but expect to do 
so this spring and believe that we 

will have a very lovely home. It 
certainly is on the interior and 
know it will look handsome from the 
outside when I can improve the ap- 
pearance of the yard and get some- 
thing planted. I am so proud of this 
house that I expect to send a photo- 
graph to be shown in your catalogue. 
I estimate I saved $700.00 on th 
house by building it the Alad¢

+ ‘*with the Aladdin price and found the

I have just completed my “Pasa-

ately upon arrival, my building did 
not begin until the 15th of August 
and on the 15th of September the 
carpenter work was completed. The 
labor situation here was so that I 
had to wait some time to get paint- 
ers for my job, however, they fin- 

ished ‘Tuesday of this week. 

= My carpenters who are expert 

men in their line and men who have 
erected many homes. in this section, 
told me that I could not have se- 
cured as good material around here 
anywhere. Everything came very 
plainly marked and numbered, and 
no experience should be necessary 
for this kind of building. At first 

I had a time making a contract for 

the building because my carpenter 
was afraid that he couldn’t find 

everything and would thereby lose a 

- lot of time on that account. He was 

_ well pleased with the simple way 

that the house went together and

which I cannot do. As an example 
what saving there is in their mate-—

put my sash in the concrete founda-

dation of Aladdin houses as every- 
thing was strictly first class in every 
way and far better than I expected. 
I am building the “Charleston” and 
it is almost finished -and is a beau- 
tiful house. ~ Everyone who sees it 
claims it to be the best looking house 
in the neighborhood, which is saying 
a good bit, as there are some very 
fine houses around here. Hvery piece 
— of material was numbered and named 
and goes together without a halt and 
_ the paint and hardware is the very 
best on the market. 
Very truly yours, 
John R. Lacey.

‘IT HAS ATTRACTED A GOOD DEAL 
OF ATTENTION” 
Virginia. 

I am just putting the finishing 
touches on the Aladdin “Pomona” 
No. 1 and will move in soon. If I 
were going to build again I would 
certainly buy an Aladdin, all fram- | 


ing, sub-flooring, sub-siding sheet- — 
ing, ete., fit perfectly without any 
sawing. It was a big saving in 


labor over the old way and I had all 


. material on hand to complete the 


job when I started and did not have 
to run around the country looking 
for extra parts. The material is all 
of good quality and the architecture 
of the best. I have the best looking ~ 
house anywhere in this section and | 
it has attracted a good deal of at- 
tention, people coming for miles to 
look at it. Yours very truly, 
G. L. Banker. 


“PROUD POSSESSORS OF ALADDIN. 
POMONA” 


Niertvitas 

We are the proud possessors of an 
Aladdin ‘Pomona’ and delighted ~— 
with it in every way. 

All material sent us was exactly 
as represented and each piece fitted 
right intg its place beautifully. 

We figure that we saved from 20 
to 30 percent in material and labor 
by buying a readi-cut house. 

Mr. Lancaster did not give the 
construction to a contractor; we had 
a good carpenter, expert mechanic, 
and two helpers put it up and gener- 
ally supervise everything, thus sav- 
ing quite a sum. 

Our pipeless furnace has proved ; 
very satisfactory too, being easily — 
operated and very economical. ae 

Mr. Lancaster’s partner is building rh 
the ‘‘Lamberton” next door to us and 
there are quite a number of the Alad- 
din houses in Norfolk and Ports- 
mouth 

Yours very truly, rae.

HE Emerald is a charming home. We chisel 
ened it the ‘‘Emerald”’ because it has. so nist 
value compressed into a relatively small Space. 
It is certainly a jewel of the first water in 8 
sign, appearance, and in convenience. 

Shingled walls, which may be left to weather oul 
may be stained any shade you desire from the emer-— 
ald green of the forest to the deep golden browns o 
autumn foliage. Our picture shows the sash and | 
eaves touched with white—a _ splendid aa hebenes 
Roughly hewn brackets support the projecting eave 
ani the hooded entrance. Note the casement sash 
set in a mullion frame—distinctive. The red bric 
chimney enhances the general effect. 

The interior of plan A affords five rooms conyen- 
‘ently arranged. The living room stretches across 
ithe front of the house and opens full width into the 
dining room. Two bed rooms and kitchen comple 
a little home that will delight its owner and friends. 
The price quoted does not include the chimney. The - 
material for the chimney is always procured local

3 PLANS TO CHOOSE FROM | 
fF The Emerald--Plan B | 


The artistic homey exterior appearance of 
The Emerald appeals so generally to those build- 
| ing a small home that we designed different inter- 
=§° ior floor plans to suit the taste of the builder. 
® Plan B provides splendid arrangement of rooms. 
Careful consideration is given in placing windows 
and doors so as to allow ample air and light with- 
out sacrificing wall space. Thus it provides also 
for the best arrangement of furniture. 
The Breakfast Room or Dining Alcove is a 
splendid convenient feature. It saves both space 
and dining room furniture. The table and seats 


a are furnished with the house. Seven people can 
pe. conveniently and comfortably seated around the table. 

. The bath room which is large enough for all bath fixtures is located 
"conveniently to bed rooms. The fact that it is located next to the 
_kitchen minimizes amount of plumbing required. 

_. The Kitchen embodies every feature which is sought by the house- 
wife seeking a complete, step-saving, work-eliminating plan. The win- 
dows are high enough to set a refrigerator or cabinet underneath, a 
chest of drawers too can be conveniently placed beneath the drain board 
2. A study of this plan convinces one of the unusual comfort and conven- 
tence of Floor Plan B. See price at bottom of next page.

ERE is a house that would cost under ordinary circumstances at 
least $2,500.00. It can be sold for that price in most localities 
when erected. It is actually worth that price when erected. 
Yet our price for the complete material is less than 
$1,000.00. The price is only made possible by the most 
expert knowledge of material and design, by a tre- 
mendous buying power, enormous sales and the very 
narrowest margin of profit. Investigate quality of 
material, compare the design, construction and price 
with others. You get a good porch, living room and 
dining room, separated by wide, attractive arch, two 
rel bed rooms and kitchen.
